Peach and Pecan Quinoa Salad

By boscobojo

Ingredients

• Salad:
• 1 cup uncooked quinoa
• 1/3 cup chopped pecans (toasted or not)
• 1 cup diced (peeled) peaches
• 3/4 cup diced cucumber
• 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
• Dressing:
• 2 Tbl. plain yogurt
• 1 Tbl. freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 small clove garlic, minced

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the quinoa according to the package directions. Place it into a bowl and let it cool.

Add the remaining salad ingredients to the bowl; pecans, peaches, cucumber and bell pepper. Stir to combine.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients - add alittle honey at a time until you reach desired sweetness. I ended up drizzling some honey directly into the salad at the end to get it just right. Add the dressing to the salad and stir to combine. Serve immediately, or cover and chill until ready to serve.
